A Truly Renewable Resource – CORK

Who doesn’t like the idea of “keeping it green?” This has become a world
wide target and what a better way to contribute to this idea than to consider Cork as your new floor covering. Cork is different to all other types of wood flooring in the sense that the Cork Oak Tree is never cut down!

Harvesting Green

Some of the staff at Touchwood was fortunate to visit the forest area
near Huntsville, Ontario as part of a Mill Tour put on by Vintage Hardwood
Flooring. We trekked through an “unmanaged forest” to see what happens
when just the large trees were removed with no regard to the wildlife, the forest or future harvesting.

Forever Green – Finishing Green

This environmental program aims to promote environmental protection,
sustainable development and is committed to responsible handling of resources. Our main supplier of hardwood flooring, Vintage Flooring is a member of
this program and adheres to the doctrine of being “green”.
